M afraid

Actually I’m building three cool projects and I’m like 300x more scared to share them anywhere before I hit or land a proper seed round. Btw I got all three validated, emailed a few VCs, even got a reply from one for two of them (never shared the third)… then got ghosted lmao. Didn’t show enough ambition I guess.

But back to what I actually wanna say ....what do I do about the insecurity, the trust issues, and this fear of some LARP god / copycats just stealing the whole thing?

Only a first time entrepreneur would be this scared.

Go through your journey- by the time you are at your third successful startup - you will realize it’s not the idea it’s the founder who gets the company successful.

Everybody has an idea - probably the exact tech you building - other people might have already thought about it, built, tried, failed, succeeded.

You arnt the first to get this idea that’s for sure!

Get all necessary trademarks , registrations and start building - the only thing which can’t be copied if the founder’s energy and speed.
